last， precious moments．"
Kate unwrapped the boy，whom the couple had already named Jamie， and requested

be as warm as possible and hoped the skin﹣to﹣skin contact would improve his condition.
They also talked to him．

him．" Kate recalled．

breathing．Finally，he reached for his father's finger．

Eight years later，Jamie and his sister，Emily，are happy and healthy．Only recently

China's cancer researcher Zhu Chen ， together with two French researchers Anne Dejean and Hugues de The ， received Sjoberg Prize 2018 in Stockholm Concert Hall ，
Sweden on Friday．
"We used wisdom from both Chinese and Western medicine and offered a cure to one
of the most deadly cancers ， " Chen told Xinhua ， "I feel that Chinese medicine has
potential to contribute more to human health．There are no borders in medicine，because it
struggles for benefiting all mankind．It's a language of peace，and of development and
progress ． " Chen recalled the cooperation with the two French researchers for over 30
years．
This year's Sjoberg winners have developed a new and targeted treatment for a
specific form of blood cancer called acute promyelocytic leukaemia （ 急 性 早 幼 粒 白 血
病）．It was once one of the deadliest forms of cancer，but it is now possible to cure nine out
of ten patients who receive the new treatment．The winners have made this revolutionary
development possible by methodically mapping the molecular mechanisms responsible for
the disease．
The prize is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and is funded by the
Sjoberg Foundation．The foundation，with a donation of 2.5 billion US dollars，was founded
in 2016，and serves to promote scientific research that focuses on cancer，health and the
environment．
The Prize is an annual international prize in cancer research awarded to individual
researchers or research groups．The prize amounts to one million US dollars，of which
100 ， 000 US dollars is the prize sum and 900 ， 000 US dollars is funding for future
research．

Fireworks are exciting， but also hard to control. The Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang，
though ， has developed a way to harness the visual and physical power of fireworks to
make art. He recently used them to create a burning sculpture that stretched high into the
sky．Guoqiang fittingly named the work Sky Ladder．
Guoqiang built Sky Ladder by making a frame out of metal．He coated the frame with
gunpowder，the main chemical material in fireworks．
The artist tried one end of the frame to the ground and attached a large weather
balloon to the other end．The balloon was filled with helium 一 a gas that is lighter than
air． When released，the balloon floated upward，pulling the top of the ladder 500 meters
into the sky． That's higher than the top of the Empire State Building．
Guoqiang set fire to the bottom of the ladder，and the crackling flames raced skyward up
the frame．The sculpture burned for 2.5 minutes before its flames began to die out from the
bottom up．
Dealing with explosive（炸药） is challenging，and conditions had to be perfect for
Guoqiang to achieve his desired effect．He first attempted Sky Ladder in 1994，but bad
weather prevented him from successfully completing the work．Guoqiang put Sky Ladder
aside so that he could work on other projects，perhaps most famously the fireworks display
that opened the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games．
Finally，after two more failed attempts，Guoqiang successfully sent his flaming ladder
skyward last year．He presented Sky Ladder in his hometown， a quiet fishing village near
Huiyu Island ， Quanzhou ． He offered the work as a gift to his 100﹣year﹣old
grandmother，other family members，his friends and his town．
"Behind Sky Ladder lies a clear childhood dream of mine，"Guoqiang explains．"Despite
all life's twists and turns，I have always been determined to realize it．The ladder rose toward the morning sun，carrying hope．For me，this not only means a return，but also the
start of a new journey．"
32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "harness" in Paragraph 1？
A．save and develop B．find and collect
C．control and use D．count and produce．
33. What can we learn about the work Sky Ladder Cai Guoqiang built last year？
A．It kept burning for 2.5 minutes． B．It could fly free in the sky．
C．It proved to be a failure． D．It was sent skyward in the evening．
34. When did Cai Guoqiang first imagine a ladder of fire？
A．When he was a young boy．
B．When he saw the Empire State Building．
C．When the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opened．
D．When his grandmother had her 100th birthday．
35. What may be the best title for the text？
A．Art on fire B．A birthday gift
C．Burning man D．Living with hope

Whether you work hard to get 10，000 steps a day or just like a daily outing with your
dog ， walking is a near﹣perfect exercise ． It's good for your body and your
mind．（36） ．From strengthening bones to reducing pounds，researchers keep finding
more and more health benefits from this simple activity． Need a reason to hit the trail or
wander the pavement？ Here are just a few impressive benefits of walking．
（37） ．
Walking keeps your mind sharp．In a University of California at San Francisco study，
researchers measured the cognitive abilities of nearly 6 ， 000 women aged 65 and
older．They tracked their physical activity for several years and found that age﹣related
memory decline was lowest in the women who walked the most． It helps you maintain a healthy weight．
（ 38 ） ． Regular walking can lead to our weight loss because exercise burns
calories．But with walking，the calories you burn depend more on the distance you cover
rather than your pace．During a 15﹣year study，researchers found that people who walked
gained significantly less weight than those who didn't．（39） ．
Walking strengthens bones and muscles．
All those steps can keep your bones strong and prevent bone loss ， fractures and
osteoporosis．That back﹣and﹣forth movement also adjusts the muscles in your legs and
belly．（40） ．
A． It saves your brain
B． It can improve your mood
C． It may seem obvious
D． It may sound like a tough call
E． That is，the more people walked，the less weight they gained

door to door．
I hope the gift will contribute to your collections of stamps and help you have a
better understanding of Chinese Spring Festival．Hope you like it! If anything in the
stamps is confusing to you，don't hesitate to turn to me．
